JAKARTA: United Development Party (PPP) leader Hamzah Haz met with party officials on Tuesday to discuss possible punishments for dissidents who met during the weekend.

The party's central board had banned members from attending a series of informal talks that ended on Saturday with a demand for reform within the party leadership and a new congress at the end of this year at the latest.

Hamzah rejected the demands, but Irgan Chairul Mahniz, who heads the party's youth wing, said Hamzah's rejection reflected his personal opinions, not the party's official stance. -- Antara
